ARC to give away
At the strike of 12 today
Will your name be drawn?
Comments made today count in the drawing. Winner to be randomly drawn at midnight PST! Winner will receive a signed ARC of my November release, The Earl of Her Dreams. 
Post a haiku – goofy, book-related or otherwise – or, as last week, just comment about your day/weekend.
Haikus for The Earl of Her Dreams:
Christian seeks a book
Kate Simon, a place to hide
Will the two collide?
A murder within
Secrets too dark to be told
Mystery abounds.
Love, the greatest gift
Embracing it the challenge
In the midst of change

Jenna Petersen Said:
Oh crap, Anne, I suck at this.
It may never die
This thing we call desire
But what about love?
Anne Mallory rocks
I’ve heard things about her socks
But don’t believe it
Wow, I suck.

I stink at this, but shall try (had to count syllables…I still have nightmares about writing these in 3rd grade and counting syllables with my hand under my chin)….
The Jauntys are cool
You can’t go wrong with their books
I’d read them all day.

Rainy Said:
Haiku? Had no idea what the format was and had to look it up. But, I’ll give it a try:
A pretty lass, Kate
Shivers in a frigid place
Comfort eases close
Haunted, Christian hides
Snow encases, hearts will melt
Love waits in quiet
Death strikes unannounced
Senses rise like tidal waves
Lovers trust again.
*******************
I am having a wonderful, wonderful day. First, I finished a submission finally for the Regency contest (got 3 votes so far. I keep checking!) It felt so good to have written and finished something, maybe only one chapter. But it’s something.
Second, last week we got a high speed connection, but my old computer in the basement, a true dinosaur) couldn’t handle it. So, I got a new Gateway computer on sale for under $400! It’s fast. It’s small. It’s beautiful. This is the first computer I’ve gotten new and I love, love it.
And hey, Cheri Japp–A baby girl tomorrow! More wonderful than my day!

Alright, I’ll throw my hat in the ring….
Writing haiku is hard to do,
I figured i’d tell you that too.
but give me a chance,
and I’ll hop, skip, and prance!
Anything for an ARC from you…..
….. well its poetry to my ears….

Haven Rich Said:
Kate makes an escape
From a marriage she would hate
And hides at an inn
Christian has a past
But a murder at an inn
While all is snowed in
A sweet kiss is shared
Burning desires spark passions
Will we get a HEA
We will have to wait
Until the November date
To hit the bookstores.
Well there is my try
At a little Haiku poem
Hope you enjoy it.
Hehe, too much fun. I love writing poetry, in all forms.
